Final
Project:
ME8843
It is the responsibility of each group to purchase the materials for their
final project. You are encouraged not to spend more than $25.00 per
student in your final project. Consider your final project as a low cost
proof-of-concept, and not the final product.
1. This must be done in groups of three students. It is your responsibility
to choose your partners.
2. Your group will meet as often as necessary to decide on the project
that you would like to work on, and to work on it from its conception
until it is finished.
3. Your grade in the project will be determined by:
• Your individual contribution and presentation
• Creativity/novelty/quality of your project
• Your project web site and final report
• Peer evaluation
4. A 1 – 2 page proposal of your Final Project is due Jan. 28

•
Meeting will be scheduled with each group to discuss their proposal
Final Project (Continued):
5. There are sample final projects on the Mechatronics Lab web page:
http://www.ume.gatech.edu/mechatronics_lab
6. The final project presentation will be on April 24 @ 1:30 pm
Presentation schedule will be made available about one week before
the presentation date.
You are required to hand in your final report prior to your
presentation.
Each group must develop a web page for their final project.

Interim Report Requirements:
1. Interim Reports should demonstrate the progress made since the
last report/demonstration and provide a means for the students
and instructor to assess the status of the Final Project. Refer to
the timeline submitted with the project proposal when discussing
your progress.
2. The report should cover the following topics (1-2 pages):
• Recap of your project goals and objectives
• Critical assessment of the progress your group has made
• Major accomplishments since the last report/presentation
• Difficulties and hardships encountered
• Next steps to be taken by your group

earlier.
3. You must always clean up before you leave the Lab.
4. Reviews of a test grade must be done within one week after the test
is returned.
5. Regular attendance is required in this class.
6. No make-up projects or assignments will be given for grade
